 The research director, like all heads of staff, make extremely dangerous traitors just by virtue of their access and departmental loyalty. You have so many ways to screw the station over: bombs, guns, possible chemistry access, the power to make EVERY POSSIBLE AI UPLOAD BOARD, comms boards, bags of holding (and thus [[singularity|singulo]]s), extra tracking beacons, mechs, an excuse to emag borgs... you can tear the station apart and make them stay on it. While your underlings are less likely to fall in line than [[security]] or a horde of clowns ordered to create chaos, a majority of the time they'll let you get away with truly wicked deeds just for the sake of SCIENCE!
-R&D becomes your personal armoury. With an [[cryptographic sequencer|emag]] you can override the firing pin on the guns you make and use them anywhere you please. A Bag of Holding is so big it can even hold shotguns and ion rifles. Technological shells can be used to produce some very special shotgun shells. If you go through the effort to build telescience equipment, you can teleport anything you want from and to anywhere you want. Don't forget illegal modules for cyborgs, which unlocks their locked module (laser for Secborg, pacid for medborg, diamond drill for minerborg, etc.) at the cost of damaging their interface, making it seem like they're emagged. You can also make the clusterbang launcher, for mechs, and the T.Y.R.A.N.T. module for AIs, with that illegal tech you got. Finally, with a portable chem dispenser, bluespace beakers and large grenade casings, you can have a wider range of grenades than Team Fortress Classic.

 Less useful but still dangerous, [[roboticist|robotics]] is a hive of scum and villainy even when staffed by decent sorts. If a head of staff drags in a corpse and orders it to be borged or just takes out the brain himself, generally speaking no questions will be asked and the deed will swiftly be done. The corpse and/or brain of your victim can then be given to the [[chef]] who generally believes meat is meat.

You start with access to the Toxins and Xenobiology labs, which both can be used to your advantage if you're familiar with them (Which, being the Director of Science, you most certainly should be).

 There is a Reactive Teleporter Armor in your locker - It is both a fantastic tool and a hilarious deathtrap. When it is activated, any physical contact (Hugging, stripping, grabbing, hitting) will cause the armor to shunt you away in a random direction. While can be incredibly useful, it can also be incredibly dangerous if you're near space. It can easily fling you out into the void, so be mindful of when you keep it on or off.

 |quote = Nobody has seen the scientist who was working with the E.X.P.E.R.I.-MENTOR lately, the Toxins lab is gone and took my office with it, R&D looks like a bizarro town of machines and Robotics has enough firepower to take over the station. Oh, and something locked itself into Xenobiology but we haven't figured out yet what it is.

-While you can produce a vast array of weapons, a large majority of them require a Firing Pin. These can be found in the Armory, in your locker or ordered from Cargo. While you cannot replicate the standard Electronic Firing Pins, you can create two unique versions: Testing Range pins, and Loyalty Pins. The former will give your gun the ability to be fired exclusivley on the Firing Range, for testing, while the latter will not fire for those who do not have a Loyalty Implant. Gear given to Security typically benefits from being pinned with them, as it prohibits their weapons from being used against them.
